I'm sure John Mitchell will jump in here tomorrow to fill in any details but
here is a brief summary of what he has written in Burlington Bulletin #35, 'The
Q in the Coal Fields'. Up until Aug. 1928 the CB&Q provided limited passenger
services between Centralia and Paducah via combination baggage-coach cars on
the rear of second class scheduled freight trains, No.s 70-73 and 71-72. In
Aug. 1928 the ICC ordered the Burlington to provide passenger services between
Beardstown and Metropolis which they did using gas-electric passenger motor
cars as trains No. 11 and 12. Starting April 15, 1931 the service of 11-12 was
reduced to Beardstown to Herrin. Limited passenger service to Metropolis
continued to be offered until the 1970 BN merger.

Subject: [BRHSlist] Last passenger trains to Paducah and/or Metropolis???
Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if CB&Q ever ran passenger
trains to Paducah? If so, when did these start running and when did
the last one run? If they didn't run into Paducah, I presume
passenger trains ran to Metropolis, and if so when did these trains
make their first and last runs?
Any help would be appreciated!
